Pippa, Gemma and Harriet’s story:
“What a fantastic race weekend! We absolutely loved it and was an honour to run for the charity. Inverness and the Loch route was beautiful. The scenery blew us away!

Being student nurses in the Armed Forces, we see every day how vital physical and mental health is, not just for serving personnel but for our veterans too. Erskine offers support, care, and most importantly, a sense of community and camaraderie that so many miss after leaving the military.”
